The Indian National Congress has selected Akash Vishwanath More as its candidate for the upcoming Baramati Assembly bypoll in Maharashtra.
The Indian National Congress (INC) announced that Akash Vishwanath More will contest the Baramati Assembly bypoll, scheduled to take place in Maharashtra.
More, a young leader with a background in local governance, has been active in community development projects in the region. His selection follows the resignation of the former MLA, creating a vacancy that the party aims to fill.
Baramati is a high‑profile seat, historically dominated by the rival party, and its outcome could influence the balance of power in the state assembly. The INC hopes More’s local ties and fresh image will resonate with voters.
The party has begun campaigning, with More appearing in rallies across the constituency. Election officials will finalize the list of candidates in the coming days, and the bypoll is expected to be held within the next month.
